This will make the whole process of finding one with a lot of experience a bit of a challenge. However, if you follow the tips below it is possible to limit your research to the right one in almost no time. The first step is to make a listing of the lawyers which are listed in the area that specialize in your circumstances. When you are making this list you should only include those that you have an effective vibe about depending on their advertisement. After that you can narrow this list down by using some time evaluating their site. There you must be able to find the number of years they are practicing and several general information regarding their success rates. At this point your list must have shrunken further to the people that you felt had professional websites as well as an appropriate quantity of experience.

Finally, you will need to talk to at least the last three lawyers who have the credentials you are searching for. This will give you time to genuinely evaluate how interested these are in representing you and your case. It can be important to follow every one of these steps to actually hire a company that has the right amount of experience to get you the very best outcome.

File something with the court! There has to be a court order. You can find the case number through www.nmcourts.com if you don't have it readily available.

You really need to talk to a lawyer about this. Where are you in New Mexico? If you're low income, NM Legal Aid has offices all around the state and, if you're not, then maybe the State Bar Association (1-800-876-6227 and 1-505-797-6000) can help you.

The state bar has a website at www.nmbar.org that has a lawyer finder service.

Become A Criminal Law Lawyer Or Become A Surgeon?
I Really Like Both Careers. But When I Think About Becoming A Lawyer And Then Possibly Branching Out Into Politics Deep Down Inside It Makes Me Feel Good. The Only Turn Off Is The Salary.
When I Think About Become A Surgeon Either Cardiovascular, E.R Or Plastic Surgeon I Feel That I Can Make A Good One, And I Like The Salary, But I Dont Get The Same Feeling I Do If I Think About Becoming A Lawyer.
Can Anyone Please Give Me Some Advice??

Become a lawyer. It seems as if you want to become a surgeon only because of the salary. If you're a lawyer, your salary could be unlimited depending on how passionate and competent you are.

Both Lanes Of Traffic On Main Street Had Stopped To Let Me Cross, When A Vehicle Shot Out Of A Side Street And Hit Me. She Somehow Drove Over My Foot From Toes To Top Of Foot And I Fell Down With My Body And Foot Now Pointing Down Main Street Instead Of Across It. I Also Have Her Tire Prints Just Abov My Ankle Bone And Just Behind My Knee. I Saved My Pants With The Markings From The Accident Showing The Black Marks From Her Tires Going Around My Foot And Up Side Of My Leg.
I Am Going For An Mri But The Bone Specialist Seems To Think This Will Heal With Time. She'S Ordering Mri Just To Make Sure I Didn'T Tear Cartlidge.
If This Is Just A Knee Sprain Should I Settle Without A Lawyer? For How Much? Anyone Got Any Idea What This Case Is Worth On Those Grounds? I Live In Maine So It Would Have To Be Maine Rates. Thank You Very Much

I live in Texas, so I can't say a thing about settlement rates in the state of Maine.

And I have no clue how much your case would be worth on the grounds you've stated.

But personally, if I were you, I really would find a lawyer to represent your best interests...definately since this will be a medical issue.

It MAY be just a knee sprain. Or something else could develop because of the accident.

Why The Hate For Lawyers?
I Am A First Year Law Student. Lawyers Seem To Be The Folks Everyone Loves To Hate. Joke Books Abound About Them. So That I Can Empathize With My Future Clients...Why All The Hate For Lawyers?
Thanks In Advance :)

Several reasons. One, they often represent criminals accused of horrible crimes, and do their best to get them acquitted. While doing so is essential to a just legal system, people often blame the lawyers for doing "too good a job."

Second, many of them really do make a ton of money off of the misfortunes of other people. Chemical plant leaks and gives hundreds of people cancer? Yippee, a tort lawyer's gold mine. You get the picture :)

My father's a lawyer, and a couple of my best friends are. I know a lot of them. By and large, they're highly ethical, honest, hard-working, and very intelligent people. But there are still an awful lot of lawyers out there that aren't ethical at all, and will do anything for money...that's true in any profession, but lawyers who do that are often quite visible in society :)

Good luck with your studies.

Home Trust?
If A Home Is Left In Awill, And The Deed Is In Trust To Someone Can It Be Taken Away?

As an attorney practicing in Michigan, I can only tell you what I'd otherwise tell a Michigan resident. Which is: once the deed to the house is drafted and filed with the Register of Deeds, then the house is owned by the trust. Now, usually a trust is set-up as what is called a "Revocable Living Trust". The purpose of this trust is so that you can avoid probate and (typically) tax burdens on the receipient of the home.

You, as the Trustee of the Trust, have the ability to deed things in and out of the trust. Once you die, however, your successor trustee steps in and takes your place...with all the same rights as you had when you were alive (save any specific requirements as per the trust).

Therefore, once the Trust becomes the "owner" of the home, any subsequent will (with regard to the house) is unenforceable since you didn't own the house at the time you're attempting to give it away--the trust did. The problem, however, is that the person named in the will to get the house will probably contest that Trust provision of the house because the will was made AFTER the trust. Therefore, the devisee of the house will argue that the fact the will was made after the trust was drafted, it clearly shows an intent by the owner that he was revoking the provision in the trust as to who the beneficiary to the house is, and instead, is leaving the house to the person named in the will.

On the other hand, the successor trustee is going to argue that the person who created the trust and had the house put in the trusts name couldn't give the house away via a will because the house was now owned by the trust itself. Therefore, any will (even if subsequent to the trust) attempting to give away the house will fail because the testator didn't have possesion of the house to the extent that he had a divisible interest.
